Since 2018, PikeRide has worked to make cycling an accessible transportation and recreation option for thousands of residents and visitors across the Pikes Peak region. Through operating our community’s only bike share program, we’ve developed a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing those who bike in our community.
Alongside our nonprofit bike share arm, we’re closing the transportation gap in our local area by advocating for cycling access, safety, connection, and community. That means:
Street designs and infrastructure with everyone's safety in mind.
More people choosing to bike for transportation, recreation, and everyday trips.
Better connections between neighborhoods, parks, schools, businesses, and trails.
A stronger culture that welcomes and encourages people on bikes.
Bringing together community members to have a voice in shaping the future of our neighborhoods.
